We consider an undetermined coefficient inverse problem for a nonlinear partial differential equation occurring in high intensity ultrasound propagation as used in acoustic tomography. In particular, we investigate the recovery of the nonlinearity coefficient commonly labeled as $ B/A $ in the literature which is part of a space dependent coefficient $ \kappa $ in the Westervelt equation governing nonlinear acoustics. Corresponding to the typical measurement setup, the overposed data consists of time trace measurements on some zero or one dimensional set $ \Sigma $ representing the receiving transducer array. After an analysis of the map from $ \kappa $ to the overposed data, we show injectivity of its linearisation and use this as motivation for several iterative schemes to recover $ \kappa $. Numerical simulations will also be shown to illustrate the efficiency of the methods.

Keywords: Coefficient identification, Westervelt equation, ultrasound imaging, nonlinearity parameter, nonlinear acoustics.
